A correspondent (Opinion, February 6) referred to a wartime Green Goddess fire engine, a common mistake these days.
These appliances, all Bedfords, were issued to the post-war Auxiliary Fire Service.
The wartime machines were built in a variety of chassis - Ford, Bedford, Austin and Morris - painted battleship grey and, unlike the post-war engines, had an independent pump with its own power unit mounted on the back of the vehicle.
